- the electrostatic voltage at the first conductive electrode 31 is a result of polarization changes at the pyroelectric material 20 in response to a temperature change at the pyroelectric material 20.
- the combination will therefore be referred to as an amplification electrode 30.
- the amplification electrode 30 may be electrically isolated or electrically isolatable. That is, it is a floating electrode that may be permanently electrically isolated or switched to become electrically isolated. The purpose of the isolation is that the amplification electrode 30 is a closed electrical circuit that conserves charge. There is no direct current path between the amplification electrode 30 and the electric field sensor 40.
- Fig 2 illustrates an equivalent circuit diagram for the apparatus 10 illustrated in Fig 1 .
- a change in temperature at the pyroelectric material 20 causes a change in polarisation of the pyroelectric material 20. This causes a change ⁇ in the charge distribution within the pyroelectric material 20 and so causes a change in the local electric field around the pyroelectric material 20.
- the pyroelectric material 20 and the first conductive electrode 31 form a first capacitor C1.
- the first capacitor C1 has an effective area A1 corresponding to the first area 35 of the first conductive electrode 31.

- the channel 43 has an electrical conductivity that is dependent upon an electric field at the adjacent second conductive electrode 32.
- the channel 43 is electrically insulated from the amplification electrode 30. This insulation may arise from the use of an ion-conducting material for the amplification electrode 30 as opposed to an electron-conducting material. Alternatively, where an electron conducting material is used for the amplification electrode 30 an electrically insulating layer such as a dielectric may be provided between the amplification electrode 30 and the electric field sensor 40.
- the electric current through the channel 43 between source 41 and drain 42 is dependent on the second voltage V2 at the second conductive electrode 32, which is dependent upon the ratio of the first area 35 to the second area 36 and dependent upon the first voltage V1 generated at the first conductive electrode 31 by a change in polarization of the pyroelectric material 20.

- the second area 36 of the second conductive electrode 32 overlies the second area 27 of the pyroelectric material 20 but is separated from the pyroelectric material 20 by the graphene channel 43 and the gate dielectric 44.
- the pyroelectric material 20 in this example is an insulator with no free charge. Therefore although the pyroelectric material 20 contacts the first conductive electrode 31 and the electric field sensor 40, it also electrically insulates the first conductive electrode 31 and the electric field sensor 40.
- the channel 43 has an electrical conductivity that is dependent upon a second electric field at the adjacent non-contacting second conductive electrode 32 (top-gate) and that is dependent upon a third electric field at the adjacent and contacting second area 27 of the pyroelectric material 20 (bottom-gate).
- graphene is used to define the channel 43, other materials may be used. Any material which may be manufactured in a thin film and positioned in contact with pyroelectric material 20 and which has an electrical conductivity which is dependent upon the local electric field may be used.
- a short and narrow graphene channel 43 uses only a fraction of the available area of the pyroelectric substrate 50. It may have a resistance of ⁇ 1kOhm. This is low enough to provide a good read-out, but still dominant over the series resistance of the contacts 54 that tend to decrease the sensitivity.

- the apparatus 10 may be defined on the upper surface of the suspended platform 64. Electrical interconnects between the apparatus 10 and the lower substrate 70 are formed on the supports 62.
- the suspended platform 64 ensures a low thermal capacity as the thermal conductivity between apparatus 10 and lower substrate 70 is low.
